Abstract
[Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide an epitaxial substrate and a method for producing the same capable of suppressing metal contamination and thereby reducing occurrence of white defects of a solid state imaging sensor by maintaining sufficient gettering capability during a device manufacturing process.[Solving Means] The present invention is a method of producing an epitaxial substrate, comprising a step of growing an epitaxial layer on a silicon substrate containing carbon as a dopant to form an epitaxial substrate; and, after the formation of the epitaxial substrate, a step of applying a first thermal treatment and a second thermal treatment to the epitaxial substrate such that a density of oxygen precipitates in a surface layer of the silicon substrate constituting the epitaxial substrate is larger than a density of oxygen precipitates at a center of the silicon substrate in a thickness direction.
